Crocosmias are hardy plants that flower in the late spring and early summer in funnel-shaped flowers that can be red, yellow or orange. They make excellent cut flowers, according to Floridata.
Significance
-
Crocosmias are often used by florists to make bouquets and floral arrangements. The flowers can survive longer than most, especially when steps are taken to preserve them.
Care
-
When cutting crocosmias, cut the stalks near the base. Put the cut flowers in a vase with warm water immediately to keep them fresh. Using flower preservative in the water can help keep them alive longer as well.
Growth
-
When you cut crocosmia flowers to display indoors, it stimulates the plant to produce more. It grows best in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 6 through 9 and likes full sunlight to part shade.
